Russia on Denial of Soviet occupation

← Back to Russia Profile
“[having explained how with MRP, Germany had "given back" Estonian territory to the Soviet Union in 1939] This means that if in 1939 the Baltic countries had joined the Soviet Union, then in 1945 the Soviet Union could not have occupied them, because they were already part of the Soviet Union.”
Russia
English Translation: "Saying that the USSR occupied the Baltic states is absurd and nonsense. One cannot occupy something that already belongs to him. RIA Novosti: Ivanov called statements about the USSR's occupation of the Baltics "absurd". What they say, that the USSR occupied the Baltic states, is absurd and nonsense. You cannot occupy something that belongs to you."
Original (Russian): "Saying that USSR had occupied the Baltic states is absurd and nonsense. One can not occupy something that already belongs to him.RIA Novosti: Иванов назвал "абсурдом" заявления об оккупации СССР Прибалтики То, что говорят, что СССР оккупировал прибалтийские государства — это абсурд и чушь. Нельзя оккупировать то, что тебе принадлежит."
